Deep Sleep Talkdown for Overactive Minds & Anxiety: A Guided Meditation & Self-Hypnosis

[@Rose-fp3dd]

Michelle I don’t know what I’d do without you! This video helps me so much . I’ve listened to it over 200 times at least! Thank you ! God bless you & yours x 🤍

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad this helps-- I've been wanting to re-record a new version soon. Sending love!

[@Rose-fp3dd]

@@MichellesSanctuary awesome but please keep this version also ! I rely on it so much 🙏🏽xxx

[@kachinabombfire4357]

I am still having trouble breathing but I keep watching this video over and over to help me overcome my anxiety. I found you the other day and I fell asleep (not long) but still it felt comfortable and here I am, 5:20am up all night and your video is what’s keeping me grounded and calm. Even though it takes awhile, I still listen to it over an over to help me not think crazy thoughts

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I ams o glad this is helping-- you've got this. You deserve to feel at peace and safe and to unwind every day. I hope that with time you find it easier to relax and fall back to sleep. I'm creating a new version of this for September.

[@bunnygirlmantra]

Oooh I know this feeling all too well. Hope you're doing better now.

[@TopGun_-]

To you reading this right now... you are beautiful. Everything will work itself out. Everyone here knows how you feel right now. This feeling sucks, but know that you will be be ok. This too shall pass...Don’t fight the anxiety, just allow it to work it’s way through. Embrace the moment as you become at peace with things. Now I want you to close your eyes and place your hands in front of you and lightly wiggle your fingers like you’re playing a piano. You are shedding this off as we speak. It’s dripping off your fingertips...Feel it melt off yourself. See, there it goes......we love you . At peace... at peace.... at peace... at peace....🙏🏻🌼🍀☀️✨🌼🍀🌼🍀🐣🌼

I'm so sorry you've had to struggle with that-- and happy to help in any way that I can. If there's anything I could write that would help in a meditation or story, let me know. Wishing you comfort-- I'm grateful you're here and hope you continue to be part of this sanctuary!

[@noyb4270]

Michelle, I am just learning to allow myself to use hypnosis as a tool for my extreme anxiety/panic. I am a Christian & have always been told to "beware" of it as it can give an opening for evil to enter subconsciously. Well my anxiety, caused from emotional trauma from my marriage is to the point I find it hard to leave my house. I have to tell you that how you explain what anxiety is was spot on & I'm not afraid. I have struggled w/defining anxiety as opposed to what it feels like compared to the thoughts in general. I am finally getting it. I have been listening to your videos for awhile now & am very comforted by your voice & this one in particular made me feel 'not so crazy' as the thoughts of anxiety tends to make you feel. Thank you for putting a voice to it. I have this saved & will continue to use it as I one day plan on kicking this all together.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Kathy! Sending you love and light and thank you for reaching out. It's so much easier I find when I identify anxiety as the separate entity it is! It's interesting how becoming conscious of it helps instead of trying to talk yourself out of it or ever feeling bad for it. It is just like this uninvited visitor that shows up. So glad you have been able to listen and keep tuning into breath. And wishing you the best on your journey. +Kathy S

[@dorothyjoycassilles1056]

Sending blessings and prayers from one Christian to another. Meditation is mentioned in the bible you know and hypnosis is allowing yourself to rest. Jon Kabat Zinn is a good name to search for in you tube or google. There is a Christian channel called Abide. You might find their stories good. Dot (in Australia)

Thank you for sharing your gift in this way...it is hugely appreciated. You have deep wisdom and share it in such a beautiful way. Some nights you are the only hope against anxiety and the rest it robs me of. I recommend you unreservedly.

Thank you, Coleen! I'm so glad I came offer an escape and wish you health and equanimity in 2019!

I’m seeing the same patterns of sudden feelings of anxiety - simply out of the blue. I maybe just chilling with a book and then thoughts suddenly shift to this mode. I can’t understand the sudden sweating too. I hope we get over this soon.

[@mathonamoore123]

I found it got to the salient point, at 11:56. I was exhausted though, so the long intro knocked me out but me being awake all night, because I'm addicted to social media and anxious too, isn't lovely Michelle's fault :). See, if my time line suits you plus I have no patience for breathing exercises :) Stay safe everyone, God bless and much love, from Mattie in Ireland xx 23rd of November 2021. Xx

[@SadiChanMagellan123]

Quick question, what is the difference between a sleep meditation and a sleep story? Is one more "effective" than the other?

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I answered in a Q and A video that will be released today! In terms of what is more effective, that is completely up to what works best for you and it’s a fun process to explore. 💜

[@simpleassembly6517]

I love your videos, Michelle. :) I really like the way your voice sounds in this video. The mic sounds beautiful. :) Have you heard of 3Dio: professional binaural microphone's? They are really amazing. :) ASMR

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Those microphones are crazy (in a good way!). I really appreciate the feedback. It's been challenging to record lately as the entire apartment below me is being gut renovated! For some reason, the crew only decides to blast dance music the precise moment I begin recording. I can only imagine how the 3 Dio mics would capture all that noise! Anyway, wishing you many nights ahead of great sleep.

[@tobydebeer4929]

Your meditations help me fall asleep fast but unfortunately I always have nightmares when I feel asleep while listening to this.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thanks for sharing-- maybe avoid this one! I wonder if it's the recording quality, or the message? This is an older meditation I hope to update. 💜

[@rebit6511]

Michelle - your recordings are the only ones that help me and I have listened to many over the years. I have just one suggestion if I may, about the pronounciation of the word 'respite' ......... please please, use the same rhyming as the word 'kite' ........... -there is no 'spit' in 'spite' ! Blessings to you

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Are you trying to get rid of my American accent? 😀 Because the moment I start to pronounce "respite" as you would like, I am going to get a slew of messages saying I am trying to be a Brit!

[@searchingfororion]

I was really looking forward to this video and I enjoy the content of it- Would you consider doing a re-upload with a softened sound/keeping it all in the same decibel/frequency range - and/or perhaps light background music? My reason for asking is follows: Sadly, the particular mic that you recorded it with makes your consonants very sharp especially "s" and "t" sounds to the point of jarring and physically painful. The only way to stop the "anxie*T*y *S*leep" 💥 effect on my eardrums was to adjust the volume so low I couldn't hear anything other than those sounds. Some - but not all - of your earlier recordings have something similar. (Perhaps it's the microphone or your proximity to it, I'm not sure). With others I have found the solution to be playing it on my phone and wrapping the speaker area in cloth to muffle the sharper sounds. I couldn't even do that with this one, and it's heartbreaking because it's what I really need. I hope you'll consider my request / suggestions. (On a personal note I have to testify against someone who caused me great harm and distress on Monday, so I am desperately searching your entire upload history to help with the emotional psychological and physical pain associated with it so I can be strong enough to aid in the case for justice - as other victims didn't survive)
